Abstract
Abstract A new, convenient, and selective 4-dimethylaminopyridine-catalyzed trifluoroacetylation of anilines with ethyl trifluoroacetate is described. Anilines, containing other functional groups, e.g. alcohols, phenols, hindered secondary amines, and secondary anilines, are also selectively trifluoroacetylated in high yields under these newly developed conditions.
